Vlad lives on….

Russia and the European Union have been having some difficulties, and as a European, naturally our perspective falls on this side of the curtain. This does not make us naturally Russophobic, though of late certain behaviour on the Russian part has begun to concern us (also a recent visit to the nation was extraordinary for the vision of decrepitude that we saw all around us). Unfortunately, we return here to discover that as it turns out it wasn’t just the physical infrastructure that was questionable, but the democratic one too. While we are sure that all sorts of rational reasons as to why it is acceptable that President Putin can stay on and become Prime Minister Putin (well, his excellent shape for starters, we suppose), it still leaves a bad taste in the mouth we feel. Fortunately, he has laid out rigorous conditions under which he will serve: “first, the United Russia must win the December 2 elections and second, the new President must be a decent, competent and contemporary man.” Well, that clears any doubts we had up. 

For truly unbiased coverage of what is happening in today’s Neo-Russia, we highly recommend RussiaToday’s truly noteworthy coverage. With allies like these….
